This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Cofounders
- 1. The Founder Institute Cofounders, Hiring and Firing Zagreb, 22/11/2012 Niksa Tomulic, niksa@kompare.hr
- 2. Cofounders “If don’t merry the right one, you will suffer the whole life.” Be careful with long-term commitments. Have verbal agreements first, try it, then execute it. Lawyers are expensive.
- 3. Equity considerations • Equity is the most precious asset. Don’t give it away easily. It should be earned, not given. • Worst partnerships are 50% : 50%. Rarely should it be split evenly, even though that’s what many start- ups do. • If you find the right partners, incentivize it. It is better to own 70% of something than 100% of nothing.
- 4. Equity considerations • Don’t promise equity to part-time contributors • Paying with equity might be more expensive than cash • Not everybody understands and appreciates equity
- 5. Hiring challenges • Experienced professionals are working with “big guys” • You can’t pay well and you can’t offer any security • Freelancers earn more than you do (and will) • Specialists are bored to work for “a customer”
- 7. What you can offer • Sell your dream where are you taking them • Give them status – it is cheap • Pay low but benefit well • Equity (it is earned, not given) • Give them respect • Show them how they can make impact on the business
- 8. Hiring and firing • You are chief hiring officer. But everybody should look for talent • Hire slowly, fire quickly • You are always in search for talent mode. Keep records • Do not hire someone nobody knows. You need references from people you can trust • Startup culture is different and requires different talent. You are looking for passion and SMART people. • You don’t need managers. You need contributors
- 9. Tools and resources • Linkedin and Twitter • Facebook groups • Student associations • Build relationships with universities. Have more than 25% of interns • Check HZZ programs and incentives
